DIY hair moisturizing spritz

I absolutely love making my own hair care products at home because I know whats in the product and it gives me the opportunity to add exactly what I want and Need for healthy hair without all those chemicals. There are tons of different ways to mix hair mists, sprays, and spritz - I like to keep it simple. A DIY hair spray can contain all the ingredients you want and can be cost efficient as well. All you need is a spray bottle, a list of your favorite essential oils, castor oil, and H2O. Please follow along with the photo demonstration, enjoy

Appreciation of beauty

I’ve been collecting modern studio silver jewelry for some years now. At first I was strongly drawn to some of the Danish and Scandinavian jewelry designers; through my research I discovered American modernist studio jewelry and fell in love quickly.  I decided to write about this kind of jewelry although information for some of the more vintage/rare pieces is not easy. Designer marks can be quite difficult to find/research which is why I've decided long ago to not focus on the marks and designer and focus more on aesthetic and detail
